Good Friday & Hot Cross Buns - Viernes Santo y Panes con Cruz

This tradition reminds me of my mother custom to bless the food before cooking.

On Good Friday, loaves bearing an imprinted cross are eaten in diverse European countries. For instance, in England, buns were baked with a cross marked on them. They are said to have originated at Saint Alban's Abbey in 1361, where the monks distributed them to the poor.
